Iran loses control of Iraq

Under the above title, Gevorg Mirzayan wrote, in "Expert Row", about the internal conflict in Iraq and the rejection of Iranian guardianship over it.

The article stated: Iraq is witnessing turmoil. Hundreds of Iraqi Shiite demonstrators stormed the parliament building last week to protest the appointment of a new prime minister.

Among Russian (as well as Western) circles close to experts, an opinion has been established that neighboring Iran is the biggest beneficiary of the US invasion of Iraq.

In the end, however, Iraqi nationalism (or Arabism, if you will) triumphed over religious identity, just as it triumphed during the Iran-Iraq war (when Tehran's bet on the support of its Iraqi Shiite brethren did not work). For many years, Iraqis - including Shiites - have opposed Tehran's control of their country and its incorporation into Iranian geopolitical projects.
